 since the device is firmware protected (against read-out), you will first need to remove this protection using an SWD adapter and running `rake remove_protection`.
 you can then flash the bootloader using SWD and application using DFU a documented in the section below.
 
-The ST-LINK V2 mini clone has SWD test points on the board.
-Because read protection is enabled, you will first need to remove the protection to be able to flash the firmware.
-To remove the read protection (and erase flash), run `rake remove_protection` while a SWD adapter is connected.
-
-The Altera USB-Blaster clone has a pin header for SWD and UART1 on the board.
-SWD is disabled in the main firmware, and it has read protection.
-To be able to flash using SWD (or the serial port), the BOOT0 pin must be set to 1 to boot the system memory install of the flash memory.
-To set BOOT0 to 1, apply 3.3 V on R11, between the resistor and the reference designator, when powering the device.
-The red LED should stay off while the green LED is on.
-Now you can remove the read protection (and erase flash), run `rake remove_protection` while a SWD adapter is connected.
